protect shapefiles?

Greetings,
I use Global Mapper 12
I have a specific project where the requirement is to provide my digital maps to a client. This client will use my shapefiles for view-only matter from their local server.
However, I need to find a way to protect my shapefiles from being re-distributed to other people.
I tried exporting to BMP or JPEG but then quality is very bad.
Is there a recommended export format with Globalmapper to achieve my task and protect my shapefiles?
Thank you in advance,

You are probably taking the right approach with exporting to a raster format like BMP or JPEG so that the raw vector information is no longer available. You just need to reduce the sample spacing used when exporting to get a higher resolution result from the vectors. Just keep adjusting that value until you get the detail that you require.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks,
Mike
